Summary:

This text is intended to provide a modern and integrated treatment of the foundations and applications of continuum mechanics. There is a significant increase in interest in continuum mechanics because of its relevance to microscale phenomena. In addition to being tailored for advanced undergraduate students and including numerous examples and exercises, this text also features a chapter on continuum thermodynamics, including entropy production in Newtonian viscous fluid flow and thermoelasticity. Computer solutions and examples are emphasized through the use of the symbolic mathematical computing program Mathematica®.

Contents:

Cartesian tensor analysis

Kinematics and continuity equation

Stress

Work, energy, and entropy considerations

Material models and constitutive equations

Finite deformation of an elastic solid

Some problems of finite elastic deformation

Finite deformation thermoelasticity

Dissipative media.
